Digital Communications (WS 2021/2022)
Inhalt:
Telecommunications have become ubiquitous in daily life and wireless networks play a fundamental role thanks to their capability to support mobility. In a wireless communication, the concept of link does not exist. Users radiate energy and communicate through the superposition of each other’s transmissions which creates interference. Compared to wireline networks this scenario is extremely challenging but also offers unpredictable opportunities in the development of new technologies (massive MIMO, cognitive radio, etc.) and exploitation of new features, e.g., opportunistic communications and multiuser diversity. The exponentially increasing request of higher and higher throughput is satisfied densifying users and access points per unit area and allowing more and more interference while adopting advanced techniques and innovative resource allocation to mitigate the detrimental effects of interference. Objective of this course is to introduce the student to advanced techniques for coordinated medium access control and radio resource management in cellular systems. Power allocation, rate adaptation and scheduling will be discussed both in centralized and distributed settings. Some mathematical methods play a fundamental role in resource allocation, namely, classical Perron-Frobenius theory for nonnegative matrices, convex and nonconvex constrained optimization, distributed optimization and game theory. The course introduces the student to such methods and exemplifies their application to various resource allocation problems. Additionally, the course addresses relevant aspects of resource allocation in wireless networks such as fairness and cross-layer design. Technical Content
